To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, GEORGE O. LEoPoLD,

a citizen ofv the United States, residing in Philadel hia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain? which the ollo'wing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a breast drill with means whereby the speed of v{the drill can be readily changed and the dell) vice employed at will as either a right or a illustrating 'iny invention; Fig. 2, is a verti-' cal section on the line 22, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, is a perspective view of the change speed mechanism; Fig. 4, is a perspective View of parts of the mechanism for changing the character of the movement imparted to the '30 drill; Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8, are diagrammatic views-illustrating the pawls shifted to diiier ent positions, and Figs. 9 and 10, are elevations illustrating modifications of the invention.

In the above drawings, A is the frame of the breastdrill, having a breast plate a and a hearing -A. This hearing has two arms (L -a between which is located the mechanism B for changing the character of the movement of the spindle. Projecting from one side of the bearing A is a handle C and on the bearing itself is a spindle a on which is mounted a beveled gear. wheel D held in place by a screw a. In the present in v stance, the hub d of the gear wheel D is grooved for the reception of the forked portion dof the crank arm D which has a haildle D as is common in this type of drill.

The spindle of the drill is indicated atE as passing through the bearing A and extend- "ihg into a step bearin a in the stock portion of the frame A; it eing provided with a groove 0 into which extends aconfining screw 0 so that said spindle is prevented in rovements in BreastDrills, of-

' from moving longitudinally in itsbearings, while beinghowe ver, free to rotate. Mounted on the spindle E are two sleeves F and G both snugly fitting the bearing A and servspindle. Y

A beveled pinion H having a hub h, is loosely mounted on the upper portion of the spindle E and meshes with the teethd at th periphery of the gear wheel D, while a sec- 0nd beveled pinion I is loosely mounted on the lower end of the spindle E, and also meshes with said teeth (1 of the Wheel D. A beveled pinion J loosely carried on the sleeve F meshes'with a second set of teeth (i on the wheel D; these teeth being nearer the center .of said wheel than the teeth d, as clearly shown in. the drawings. Either of the pinions I and J can be thrown into and out of operative connection with the spindle E, thereby either disconnecting it from the ,;the spindle asdesired. 1 Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, it will be noted that the sleeve F is enlarged at F and has an "annular groove f in the enlargement. Fit ting in this groove is a shifting plate n'bev- ,eled and notched at n and n Two bolts f and f 2 are constructed to fit into suitable grooves in the part F and at one end of each. bolt is a spring f 3 acting between it and a pin f in the groove in which such bolt is mounttion of the plate 11. and has one wall beveled, as shown, so as to conform to the bevels 'n, n of the plate n. i

The beveled pinion J, which is mounted on the hub of the sleeve F, has a series of openings 7' into which the bolt f 2 can be forced by its spring when the notched plate nis shifted into one position, and the beveled pinion I which is mounted on the spindle E at the end of the sleeve F, has a series of holes 1', into which can be projected the end of the bolt f The plate n is held to a sleeve N by a screw it and this sleeve is roughened so that it can be readily grasped and turned by hand.

.When the sleeve N with the platen is turned to the extreme right position the bolt f is projected under the action of its sprin into one of the holes of the beveled pinion and as this beveled pinion meshes with the teeth the wheel D, the sleeve F will be driven at a driving mechanism or varying the speed of ed. Each bolt is notched at'ffor the recep d which are nearer the center of rotation of ing to reinforce while being fixed to said slot speed. l i hco the sleeve N and its plate at moved to the left, then the bolt f is Withdrawn and the limlt f is allowed to be projected into one of the holes '11 in the pinion l, and as this pinion meshes with the teeth (Z on the periphery of the wheel 1D, the sleeve F will be driven. at high speed.

i t will be noticed that the sleeve F is loose upon the spindle ll] end is coupled to the spindle through mechenisn'i for changing; the

character of the drive as illustrated. in Figs. 4'

to S inclusive.

The sleeve G is secured to the spindle E] by transverse pin c, Fig. 2, being placed be tween the pinion iii and the sleeve F and having a number of longitudinal slots as shown in Fig. t On 'G-YKl oi the hub h of said pinion H are e series of teeth It, whi e on the upper end of the sleeve F a1; '21. second series of teeth f, there being pawls s and 8 operating in. the slots g and so to be capable of engaging the teethf end a pawl in the slot capable of the teeth 72 The two pewls c and s oppositely beveled While the pawl s is also beveled as shown best in Fig. In the sleeve G 'is an annular groove g" iii which rests o slide plate S notched shown in Fif l, and in the diagrams 5 to 8 inclusive, the pewls being grooved to receive this notched plate. in each one of the longitudinal grooves g, g, g is a spring which sets upon its particular pawl so to force it into engagement with its teeth when it is, released by the plate 65.

lnclosing the space between the hearing A and the beveled pinion H a casing K provided with a. slot .Z': through which projects a shifter s". This shifter is connected. to the plate so thet when moved to either. of its four positions, as ittllcittd in Fig. i, it moves said plate and sh -ts the pawls.

The marks indicate n Fig. 1 on the casing T 11, reading from left to right, are la. Rf, meaning left ratchet, which indicates the;

ween the shifter is opposite it, the peWls ere mechanism is positively to the driving mechanism,

so that the device o ates as an ordinary breast elm. '1). means thet the aWls are so t on the reciprocation of the driven mecl1enimpulses'in t..-e' continuous moons that the drivingm i ism. will pod. will move return.

to Figs. 5 to 8 inclusive. which SllOW the peWls in their different positions, Fig. 5 illustrates the plate S shifted to the ex treine left bend position, the pawl 3 being the only one projected, so that the driven ts in such a positionems spindle will be moved positively to the left, but will ratchet to the right. lb V 6, both pewlse and c are proi eeted one iepewl s is retracted, so that the driven mechanism is locked to the driv'h'ig mechanism and the driving mechanism is driven positively es in the ordinary breast drill v In 7, is shown the ol. to 8 so shilte he to retract the pawl s and allow the pewls t and s to be projected, with the result that on the reciprocation ol' the driving mechanism, the driven mechanism is given. a continuous forward movement. in 8, .l' have shown the plate moved to the extreme right hood position in which the pawl s is projected and the pewls s and s retracted, so that the driven. spindle will be positively moved forwerd to the right and ratchet to the left. Thus, by manipulating the two shifting plates at S, 3. cm enabled to make procticolly four changes of movement wit one end tour changes of movement with another speed. Moreover, arrangement is such as to produce e very compact breast drill, Which will. meet all the requirements, While being so simple in construction that it can be manufactured at a price within the means of an ordinary mechanic.

In some instances it may make a breast d ill Without using means for changing the character of the n1ovement,and in this cese l employ the speed cllap 'e gear illustrated in Fig. 9. I may also malls a. breast drill, as shown in Fig. 10, with onlythree changes of speed instead of four, in such case leoving otl either the right or left ratchet, as, in some instances, it may not be necessary to'providc a pawl with all the change mechanism. 1 prefor however, it p 'acticable; to use the mechenism illustrated inFig. 1. Further, in some cases it may be desirable to make the drill without the change speed mechanism, and it is to be understood that such a structure would be included as one form of my invention.

it will be noticed that by the construction illustrated I am enabled to make it very practical tool, for the spindle, While being comparatively light, is suitably protected from side strains by the sleeves F and G which each have a. portion mounted in the bearing A. Moreover, with the construc-- tion described, I provide a very firm and rigid tool which at some time is not cum.- bersome.
